Vivo x300 ultra sraw

Subject: SRAW files lose color after editing – Vivo X300 Ultra
Hello Adobe Lightroom team,
I would like to report an issue I am experiencing with SRAW files from the Vivo X300 Ultra in Lightroom Mobile.
When I open an SRAW photo and start editing it, everything initially seems to work correctly. When I move sliders such as Exposure, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, or other color adjustments, the photo temporarily looks much better, with more color and better detail.
However, after about one second, Lightroom updates the image and the colors become noticeably weaker and less saturated again. It looks as if Lightroom first displays a good preview and then replaces it with a different rendering that has significantly less color.
This makes it very difficult to edit SRAW files, because the result I see while adjusting the sliders is not the same as the final rendered result.
The issue seems to occur specifically with SRAW files from the Vivo X300 Ultra. I would appreciate it if you could investigate whether Lightroom Mobile is correctly interpreting the Vivo SRAW/DNG format and its embedded color information or preview.
I can provide an example SRAW file if needed.
Thank you for looking into this issue. I hope support for Vivo's SRAW files can be improved in a future Lightroom Mobile update.
Best regards

    Hi,Lightroom version V11.5.31,Android version 16.The photo was taken in SRAW mode on a Vivo X300 Ultra; when I open it in Lightroom, color noise reduction is automatically applied, but the problem disappears if I reset that setting to zero.

    Hi @caring_Captainf804,

    Thanks for testing this. That’s very helpful. The fact that the issue disappears when Color Noise Reduction is set to 0 gives us a much more specific area to investigate.

    Could you please share one original SRAW file from the Vivo X300 Ultra that reproduces the issue? Please leave it untouched, upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or a similar service, and share the download link here.

    If the file is confidential, you can click my profile name > Send Message and share the link with me privately.

    I’ll share the sample and your Color Noise Reduction findings with the product team for further investigation.

    Thanks again for helping us narrow this down.

    Hi @caring_Captainf804,

    Thanks for the detailed report. The fact that the image briefly shows the expected color while an adjustment is being made, then changes again about a second later, is particularly useful.

    We’d like to investigate this using an original file from the Vivo X300 Ultra. Could you please share one original SRAW file that consistently reproduces the behavior, ideally straight from the phone and without conversion or processing by another application? You can upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox, or another file-sharing service and post a public download link here.

    Could you also share:

    • Lightroom Mobile version and Android version

    • Whether the same photo shows the color change immediately after opening it, or only after you start making edits

    • The Profile shown under Lightroom’s Profile section for the affected SRAW

    • Whether a regular RAW/DNG captured with the same Vivo X300 Ultra behaves normally

    • If possible, a short screen recording showing the color changing after you move a slider


    If the phone allows you to capture the same scene in both regular RAW/DNG and SRAW, sharing that pair would be especially useful, as it would let us compare how Lightroom renders the two files from the same device.

    Please keep the original SRAW available; we’d prefer to examine the untouched file rather than a converted or re-exported copy.

    Thanks for offering the sample. That should give us what we need to investigate this further.

    Best,
    Anshul Saini
